Repair Work

 

In the last post, I showed you the brown bedroom that needed some repair work. The accent wall had sustained the most damage when a good portion of the wall had to be replaced when some pipes inside that wall were upgraded. The homeowner decided to just the insert a tan color and the surrounding wall a deep brown. This goes well with the brown straie finish on the remaining walls.

This finish is not forgiving and does not easily repair. I knew, especially since this finish was already 9 years old and quite faded, a good match was not going to happen. This is the before picture.

Closet wall b4Next up, a settlement crack. This crack really needs the attention of a plasterer who will open it up and fix it correctly. It’s not a quick fix or it will just crack again. The homeowner decided to hold off on a real fix and just have me darken the crack. This is the "before" pic.

…a little better.
